A very rare, unlisted CDV photo image of Chivington, seated , taken at Stevenson & Marshall's Photographic Rooms, Leavenworth, Kansas. Approx 4 x 2.5". Age spots, edge wear, Overall VG. Comes w bio info.
This photo has been in my collection 20 years.
I have been a serious collector of Western Frontier Army items since 1980.
I got the CDV along with some other Fort Leavenworth images in New England in the 1980s, when I lived there- I retired and moved to NC in 2014. The photo dates to circa 1864 and is original. I have always believed it to be Chivington based on the strong physical resemblance to the only other image of him published in uniform from that era.
